Favorite Bible Verse: Romans 12:3-8
"Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgement, in accordance with the measure of faith God has given you. Just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in Christ who are many in one body form one body, and each member belongs to all the others.
